Quote from Frank Costanza

Estelle Costanza: He doesn't know anything about bras.
George: I know a little. Besides, what do you have to know?
Frank Costanza: Well, it wouldn't hurt to go in the and be able to discuss it intelligently. Maybe you should take a look at a few bras? Where is your bra? Give him a bra to look.
Estelle Costanza: I am not giving him a bra.
Frank Costanza: Why not?!
Estelle Costanza: Because I don't need him looking at my bra.
Frank Costanza: Why, so he'll go to the interview and he wouldn't know what he's talking about!?!

Quote from Frank Costanza

Frank Costanza: I'm not saying go to the library and read the whole history, but it wouldn't kill you to know a little bit about it.
George: All right, it wouldn't kill me.
Frank Costanza: How long does it takes to find a bra? What's going on in there? You ask me to get a pair of underwear, I'm back in two seconds. You know about the cup sizes and all? They have different cups.
George: I-I know about the cups.
Frank Costanza: You got the A, B, C the D. That's the biggest.
George: I know the D is the biggest. I've based my whole life on knowing that the D is the biggest.

Quote from Frank Costanza

Estelle Costanza: Here, here's the bra.
Frank Costanza: Let me see it.
Estelle Costanza: 100% Lycra spandex.
Frank Costanza: Let me see it.
Estelle Costanza: I told you. Here, think you know everything?
Frank Costanza: Hmm, that's surprising. All right, what else? You got the cups in the front, two loops in the back. All right, a guess that's about it.
George: I got it. Cups in the front, loops in the back.
Estelle Costanza: You got ketchup on it!

Quote from Kramer

Kramer: Well, what else? Was he nervous? Did he use a lot of slang? Did he use the word "man"?
Jerry: No, he didn't use "man".
Kramer: I mean, when he was leaving did he say "I'm splitting"?
Jerry: No, but in one point he did use the bathroom.
Kramer: Whoa!
Jerry: You think that's a bad sign?
Kramer: Yes! Yes, that's what they do! They live in the bathroom!

Quote from Elaine

Jake: What is it?
Elaine: It's nothing.
Jake: Tell me.
Elaine: Well, I was just curious why you didn't use an exclamation point?
Jake: What are you talking about?
Elaine: See, right here you wrote "Myra had the baby", but you didn't use an exclamation point.
Jake: So?
Elaine: So, it's nothing. Forget it, forget it, I just find it curious.

Quote from Newman

Kramer: Well, I say we're going to take our money right now!
Newman: [enters] Hey, hey.
Jerry: Hello, Newman.
Newman: Hello, Jerry. So, any news?
Kramer: Yeah, he skipped out and... went to South America!
Newman: South America?! What kind of snow blower did you get us mixed up with?

Quote from Kramer

Kramer: What's today?
Newman: It's Thursday.
Kramer: Really? Feels like Tuesday.
Newman: Tuesday has no feel. Monday has a feel. Friday has a feel. Sunday has a feel...
Kramer: I feel Tuesday and Wednesday.
Jerry: All right, shut up the both of you!

Quote from Kramer

Kramer: South America, huh?
Barry: Yeah, yeah.
Kramer: That's a burgeoning continent.
Barry: Well, they are expanding their economic base.
Kramer: Tell me about it.
Barry: Excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom.
Kramer: I'm hip.
Barry: Hip to the what?
Kramer: To the whole scene. [sniffs]
Barry: What scene?
Kramer: The bathroom scene. [sniffs twice]
Barry: Listen, don't take this personally, but when I'm coming back I'm sitting over there.
Kramer: Whatever turns you on.

Quote from Newman

Newman: [flossing] No. No, I don't like it.
Jerry: What do you mean you don't like it? How could you not like it?
Newman: I like the thick tape.
[Jerry is disgusted as Newman puts the used dental floss on the dashboard]

Quote from George

Farkus: So, basically the job here is quite simple. Selling bras.
George: Well, that interests me very much Mr. Farkus. Very much indeed, sir.
Farkus: Have you ever sold a woman's line before?
George: No, but... I have very good rapport with women. Very good. Comfortable. And from the first time I laid eyes on a brassiere, I was enthralled.
Farkus: Hmm. Tell me about it.
George: Well, I was 14 years old. I was in my friends bathroom. His mother's brassiere was hanging on the shower rod. I picked it up, studied it. I thought, "I like this". I didn't know in what way or on what level, but I knew... I wanted to be around brassieres.
Farkus: That's incredible story. You have a remarkable passion for brassieres.
George: Well, they are more than an underwear to me, Mr. Farkus. Two cups in the front, two loops in the back. How do they do it?
Farkus: Well, I think I can say, barring some unforeseen incident, that you will have a very bright future here at E.D. Granmont.
George: Thank you Mr. Farkus. [they shake hands] Thank you very much indeed, sir.
Farkus: See you Monday 9 o'clock.
George: If you don't mind, sir, I'll be here at 8.
